Douluo: The Son of Martial Soul, Deceiving All the Women

Chapter 308 Zhu Zhuyun Appears

After making up his mind, the Grand Duke of the Underworld observed everyone's reactions.

Finding no one objected, he nodded, intending to adjourn the meeting and then tell everyone to go and prepare, since even if they were to flee, they should still pack their belongings, right?
But before he could speak, he was interrupted by a voice from outside the door.

"Why are you leaving, Father? And all you uncles, please don't worry, we don't need to leave, nothing will happen."

Hearing a sound coming from outside the door, the Zhu family members all turned to look. They saw a woman with a voluptuous figure and a smiling face slowly walking in.

Zhu Zhuyun's father, the Grand Duke of Youming, frowned slightly upon seeing his daughter appear, his expression somewhat surprised.

For the past few years, he didn't know what was going on. Ever since his daughter returned from the Soul Master Competition, she had been staying in her small courtyard and wouldn't go out, and she even claimed to be in seclusion.

Doesn't he know whether he's in seclusion or not? He spends all day either spacing out or playing with cats, what kind of seclusion is that?

I've told her several times to go out and cultivate a relationship with Davis, but she won't listen. And it's not just Zhu Zhuyun who won't listen; Davis hasn't made any moves either.

Later, he didn't want to waste his breath. Since the fiancé had no objections, why should he, as the father, care so much?

Therefore, the Duke of Youming did not inform Zhu Zhuyun when this meeting was held.

Although Zhu Zhuyun was qualified to attend the meeting, she stayed in the courtyard all day and didn't come out, so notifying her was useless.

After all, he had tried before. Even when Xingluo was suffering repeated defeats, his daughter still looked indifferent, which left him somewhat bewildered.

Unexpectedly, she actually came out of the yard today. But if you're going to come out, fine, but what's the point of coming here to oppose him? Doesn't she know her life is at stake?

Then the Duke of the Underworld's expression darkened, and he said in a low voice:

"Zhu Yun, stop fooling around! You don't know what's going on outside. Since you're here, sit down and listen. Don't offer any opinions."

Hearing her father's reprimand, Zhu Zhuyun waved her hand and said casually:
"I understand, I understand it all too well. It's nothing more than the Star Luo Empire being about to be destroyed, and the royal Dai family wanting to pack up and run away."

"However, none of this concerns us. As long as the Zhu family stays here peacefully, believe me, no one will come looking for trouble."

Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, everyone in the Zhu family stared at her blankly, their mouths slightly agape, completely baffled as to where she got her confidence from.

Do they really think the Heavenly Dou Army belongs to their family? They think they can just keep them away from the Zhu family and expect them to obey?
However, compared to the disbelief of the other members of the Zhu family, the Grand Duke of Youming's expression changed somewhat.

He believed he knew his daughter, Zhu Zhuyun, quite well. She had been intelligent and resourceful since childhood and never spoke without certainty.

Since she believes that the Zhu family can protect themselves without leaving, why not listen to her opinion?

"Zhu Yun, why are you so sure that my Zhu family will be safe?"

"You must understand that in the current situation, the family cannot afford to make even the slightest mistake; otherwise, it will face utter destruction!"

Zhu Zhuqing did not answer the question directly from the Duke of Youming. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and then looked at the clansmen around her.

"Dear uncles and elders, please excuse us for a moment. This matter is not yet ready to be made public and needs to be kept confidential."

“It’s not that Zhu Yun doesn’t trust everyone, but this matter concerns the future of the Zhu family, so Zhu Yun has to be careful.” As soon as Zhu Zhu Yun finished speaking, everyone present changed their expressions and began to get up and leave.

Because through Zhu Zhuyun's actions, they could see that she was truly confident in protecting her family and was not joking.

Since that's the case, there's no room for them to argue. After all, who would risk their life and leave their hometown if they could live a peaceful life without leaving?
Therefore, even though they have been cleared out, they have no complaints whatsoever, because they understand the principle that things are accomplished in secrecy.

In fact, most of them were secretly planning to send people to monitor the others present.

If anyone tries to betray the family or leak secrets, then don't blame them for being ruthless and heartless!
After everyone left, only Zhu Zhuyun, her father, and her grandfather remained.

"Zhu Yun, now you can tell me, why are you so sure that the Zhu family won't face danger if we stay here?"

The previous generation of the Netherworld Grand Duke looked at Zhu Zhuyun, a glimmer of hope in his old eyes, and asked in an urgent tone.

Upon hearing her grandfather's question, a smile flashed across Zhu Zhuyun's face as she remembered the white fish she had promised her.

After the destruction of Xingluo, she will be able to meet this nemesis again.

“Father, grandfather, do you know who Zhuqing’s man is? He is the one I can rely on to protect the family.”

The Grand Duke of the Underworld frowned, his expression somewhat complicated, and said:

"Zhu Yun, I've heard about who your sister's boyfriend is, but Zhu Qing is a straightforward girl, so I'm afraid she doesn't have much affection for the family."

"Besides, even if Zhu Qing still cares about the family, she may not be able to play any role."

"After all, someone like the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall could have any woman he wanted, so why would he listen to the opinion of a little girl like her?"

He had naturally heard that his daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, had gone with Bai Yu, but he never thought of using this relationship to seek a way out for the family.

Not only him, but even the Star Luo Emperor never thought that he could persuade the Spirit Hall to withdraw its troops through the relationship between Zhu Zhuqing and Bai Yu.

Because in their eyes, a woman is nothing, and she can't affect Baiyu at all.

After all, who is the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall? He defeated Tang Chen in a head-on battle, which is considered to be the best in the continent. How could he be affected by a little girl?

Therefore, for the Grand Duke of Youming, it would be better not to mention this matter. If the Zhu family were really wiped out, then Zhu Zhuqing would have preserved a bloodline for the Zhu family.

Hearing her father's words, Zhu Zhuyun pursed her lips. If it were someone else, she really wouldn't be able to guarantee anything.

But Baiyu is different. Apart from the common male flaw of being lecherous, his personality is completely different from that of people on the mainland, and he is even somewhat incompatible with them.

Logically speaking, Zhu Zhuqing shouldn't be able to influence Baiyu, but in reality, she can, and the influence is quite significant!
You could tell from how they first met.

After all, he wasn't angry even though his sister tricked Baiyu into going to the hotel with a letter, which shows how tolerant he is of his women.

"Your worries are unnecessary. Baiyu is different from others. Zhuqing's status in his eyes is not as low as you think."
